Possible NW Gulf Development Late This Week?

[attallaman]

Two of NOLA's TV METs were saying this morning there is a good possibility that SE LA and coastal MS could receive heavy rains from the system currently in the BOC later this week. Could the METs in NOLA be right or is the system in the BOC primarily heading for SC TX, SE TX, or SW LA?

TWC is only indicating a 30 to 40% chance of "Isolated Thunderstorms" at this point in our area(SE LA).

Please remember that TWC isn't really doing much "independent" forecasting. They are using the NWS forecast.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind, thanks for the info.

That's strange, all I saw was the word "Latest" and the logo for Photobucket, no sat image. Thanks for clarifying that.

The sat image was being displayed at first. But yes, now all we see is the logo for Photobucket. I guess Hurakan exceeded storage limits or something.

I have a pot for boiling crawfish and that looks like the lid for it. Except that one looks smaller.

Well if you find out inquiring minds want to know.

My aunt who lives in Cypress, TX just called to tell me it's raining pretty good there this afternoon.

i am not knowledgeable enough to know what i am looking at, but does anyone think this has the signs of starting to develop into anything?

My favorite metoerologist (Greg Bostwick) said that in the next few days, upper level winds will diminish, and we could see formation later on. Definately something to keep an eye on.

This area has had a few bursts of convection but the shear has been blowing the tops off leaving little naked swirls at the surface. Don't know if the shear has eased some this afternoon or not?

That's all I saw too. I thought it has something to do with the "Pro" in the picture which had something to do with my Pro comment.
We had quite a bit of rain in this area today.
I hope the Texans can get some much needed rain.

12Z NAM looks impressive but is likely way overdone. So far nothing more than just a bunch of tropical moisture. For those that read my points last night did anyone notice the excessive rainfall over C TX this morning SW of Austin. Small slow moving MCS in a tropical air mass produced 3-5 inches in a couple of hours. Look out for the nocturnal stuff the next few nights as this may end up getting someone more than any Gulf surface low.

Jeff, parts of Hays County (Wimberley) and south of there indeed received significant amounts of rain this morning. It looked like the heavier precip would edge into the AUS metro area ... but alas, it didn't happen.
